Minus, Genova do hair mineral analysis thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/testin...

I don't know whether they are the 'best'. Hair mineral analysis isn't quackery as far as I'm aware.

Hi minus. I got mine from Pulse Health Screening (pulsescreening.co.uk/hair_a... for what I thought was one of the cheapest prices I could see. Yet if you look at the report, you will see its the same test offered by others but for a much higher price. Happy with the service, and the turn around time was very quick!

One thing I did underestimate though was the amount of hair needed; you need to fill a tablespoon (not a teaspoon!). Consequently I would suggest having it done before going to have your hair cut ;)

Hi I have used Pulse Screening you can find the website. Bull Cottage, Kent. These tests are sent to the usa for testing. You need to be able to read the levels but pay extra for the analysis helps you understand it. I have had it done maybe 5 times now. They do ask you for any health problems and I did state my underactive thyroid. Hope this helps. They also recommend supplements.

Not what you're looking for?
